CBS is facing unexpected backlash after a Season 2 episode of Tracker drew complaints from viewers who said the show crossed the line into graphic violence. The episode in question, which featured Colter discovering the aftermath of a brutal crime in a remote cabin, reportedly triggered hundreds of complaints to the network.
Social media lit up with criticism, with one viewer writing, “I tune into Tracker for suspense, not horror.” Another posted: “CBS needs to remember families watch this together.”
In response, CBS released a statement defending the series’ creative choices while acknowledging the feedback. “Tracker deals with dark subject matter, and our team takes care to present it responsibly. Viewer input is valuable, and we will continue to balance intensity with sensitivity.”
The controversy has unexpectedly boosted the show’s visibility, with ratings for the following episode spiking by 12 percent. Still, the debate over how far Tracker should go remains heated among fans and critics alike.
